How to Export and Print Boards

There is a number of ways to save and share your boards. All of them are available in the Export menu:

Export menu

Save as image

Safari, Edge and IE browsers export to vector only

Export boards as a JPG image in Low, Medium and High quality and as a PDF file in Vector quality (vector quality is saved as a PDF-file). Select the quality and choose the part of the board that you wish to export:

You can export individual frames as JPG images. To do so right-click the needed frame > you will then see the context menu > choose Export as image:

Saving the frame as an image

With vector export, you can preserve the image quality when exporting large boards. Please note, that bitmap images on the board are still compressed during the upload, whereas objects created in RealtimeBoard (shapes, stickers, text, links, etc.) will preserve their quality.

Save as PDF

Safari, Edge and IE browsers export to vector only.

This option allows you to export Frames as a PDF document in Low or Vector quality. To export the board as a PDF file, you need to create at least one frame. Each frame will become a separate page in the resulting PDF document.

Exporting board as a PDF file

Export to CSV

Available in: Chrome, IE and Firefox browsers

All the stickers and texts in a single Frame can be exported to a CSV file. To do that right-click the needed frame and choose Exportto CSV in the context menu:

As a result, you will have a CSV file with the board content put into columns in the following order: text - URL (if present on the board) - sticker tags (if present on the board).

Board backup

This option allows you to save an archived copy of the board to your computer as an .rtb file. To restore a board from backup, go to the dashboard and click Upload from backup:

Restoring a board that already exists in your account will result in a duplicate containing the backup version. The duplicate board will have "Copy of" added before its title.

Saving to Google Drive

Use this option to create an alias of your board in your Google Drive directory. This way it becomes accessible just like one of the files or documents storedtoyour Drive. Note that the boarddata are not actually storedtoGoogle Drive. Click the board alias within the Google Drive interface to open a new instance of RealtimeBoard in your browser.
